The Gandhi slippers been sold by CafePress on Amazon.com costs $16.99 (Rs 1,190). The brand claims that their 'graphic flip flop sandal designs are professionally printed... and will look great and make someone smile,' CNN News 18 reported.

Just last week, the e-commerce site was slammed by Swaraj, who demanded Amazon to tender an unconditional apology and take down all products disrespecting the Tricolour.
